Racism: the ultimate illusion

(NaturalNews) How sad things have become when we attack people simply because they may be of a different race, color, or religion than we are.

The Hispanics hate the blacks; the blacks hate the whites; the Muslims hate everyone. In the inner cities where the colors and ethnicity is mostly the same (blacks and Hispanics), identity has to be recognized by different colored armbands. And if your armband is a different color that the other guy, he becomes the enemy. All this hatred and all this prejudice comes about because of the various "labels" the soul is wearing. Yet, no one has the vision to see this and yet we accept this as the gospel.

When I came into this world I had many labels. Male, Caucasian, human, and Jewish were there at the very outset. As I started getting older and bigger I gravitated to others with like labels to insure a peaceful co-existence.

But then other things came into play. Things like envy, not liking someone's personality, or judging others completely by their looks. All these factors determined who we wanted to be friendly with and who we did not. Never once did we ever go beyond the superficial because we never knew there was anything beyond the superficial.

So, growing up I was conditioned to accept the "like" consciousness. There were Italian gangs, Polish gangs, Jewish gangs, and black gangs. If you didn't belong to one you kept a low profile and were careful not to offend or "tick" someone off. If you did, in a short period of time you were confronted by at least 20 guys wearing the same label.

As we got a bit older and went to church or the synagogue or the mosque we were did not fully have this faith. And not having the faith nor anyone that could put this difference into perspective, life in illusion went on.

But there are other processes that will enable us to come to the conclusion that our material body is not who we really are.

For example, we can closely observe the ever-changing, non-enduring nature of the body and the constant, enduring nature of who we really are. Look at a picture of your body when you were a baby or a kid. What you'll see is not just a smaller version of what you are wearing now, but a completely different body that is gone completely.

The physical body according to Guy Murchie in his "The Seven Mysteries of life", and Paul Weiss in his "The Living System: Determinism Stratitfied", say that the body is made up of countless numbers of tiny particles called molecules and atoms and that these material particles are constantly being replaced by material particles from the outside environment, in the form of food, water, air, etc. And, over a period of five to seven years, this process of metabolism brings about a complete change of the matter that makes up the body.

So, when you look at that picture taken years and years ago, rest assured that every molecule in that body in the picture is long gone. In fact, this cycle of out with the old and in with the new takes place every seven years.

Yet, you existed then and you still exist now. And if that body you once had is completely gone and you still exist now, you must see that today's body will be completely gone in seven years so how can you be the body? And if you still cling to the idea of being the body, which one are you or were you?

The material body can be compared to changing your clothes. First you had a baby body; then you took off the baby body and put on a child body; later on you wore an adolescent body but gave that up for a young adult body, and on and on and on.

Another process is to meditate upon different parts of your body and ask yourself whether or not you are that part of your body. If you are not the hand, are you the arm or the leg, or the back, or the neck, etc., which part are you?

What if a part of the body is missing or if an organ has been transplanted or you had a hip replacement?
Are you now made up of different people or are you still you?

And know, you are not the ever-changing mind. If you have ever tried to control your mind how can you be the mind? There is no way the mind can attempt to control itself. That has to be done by an independent source.

So, if you are not the body and you are not the mind, who are you? You are the spirit soul, the non-material spark of the Supreme Spirit Soul that does not cease to exist when the body ceases to exist. The conclusion is that your gross body and your subtle body (the mind) are material in essence, but your true essence is spirit.

There are two quotes from the Bhagavad-gita that are truly relevant to this:

"Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable self. Only the material body of the indestructible, immeasurable, and eternal living entity is subjected to destruction". Bg 2:17 - 18

"For the self there is never birth nor death. Not does the self ever cease to exist. The self or spirit soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying, and primeval. The self is not slain when the body is slain". Bg 2:20

So, had George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin known this, Trayvon Martin would still be alive. If the radical Muslims knew that the meaning of Allah was "The All-Compassionate One", would they still kill those that do not follow their path? If people could transcend the color of a person's body and see beyond that superficial covering or transcend the "religious" labels we all wear, would there not be more kindness and compassion in the world? And lastly, if we could understand who the true owner of everything is and simply see ourselves as caretakers, would there be any need for war or would we simply share whatever God put wherever He put it?

To put it another way, if you see where that which made up your house came from, like the wood, glass or stone, would you see yourself as the true owner or the caretaker?

The more people that can adopt this vision the more they will get along with each other and not live the ultimate illusion.

Aloha!

About the author:
I have been doing a weekly radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called "Health Talk". In 2007 I was "forced" to get a Masters degree in Nutrition because of all the doctors that would call in asking for my credentials. They do not call in anymore. Going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com enables you, among other things, to listen to the shows. I am an activist. In addition to espousing an organic vegan diet for optimum health, I am strongly opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation and everything else that the pimps (Big Pharma, Monsanto and the large food companies) and the hookers (the doctors, the government agencies, the public health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the tricks.
After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child I developed asthma. After taking the organic sulfur crystals (they are harvested from the pine trees in Louisiana) in November of 2008 for 10 days my asthma reversed and has not come back over 4 years later, 18 cases, so far, of autism have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, joint pain, astigmatism, gum disease, increased sexual activity, heavy metal and radiation elimination, parasite elimination, free radicals elimination, faster athletic recovery time, increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, resistance to getting the flu, reduction of wrinkles, allergy reduction, reduced PMS and monthly period pain, nausea, migraines and so much more. And it's only possible because of the oxygen it releases that floods the cells of the body. The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids. You can find out more about this incredible nutrient also on my website - www.healthtalkhawaii.com -.
